CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Wikipedia describes Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as a form of business self-regulation, internal organizational policy or business strategy. For us at CCE, it simply is a way to solve society’s economic, social and environmental problems through creative & sustainable solutions. We believe in inclusive growth and making the society we live in a harmonious place that cultivates knowledge and provides a platform for sustainable development.

Over the years, we have been actively involved in several projects focused especially on children’s education and healthcare. We provide financial support for education of underprivileged children in India in an effort to improve their lives and those of their families. Investing in these kids also help in alleviating socio-economic disparities. CCE has been supporting this cause for more than a decade and is now actively involved in identifying and providing education to children from underprivileged families.

RECENT ACTIVITIES

Robotics Summer Camp @ CCE's India facility

We conducted a summer camp from April 30th to May 11th 2018 at our India facility for kids of grades 7-11. Although the camp was open to everyone, including kids of employees, the focus was to expose kids being supported by our charitable foundation to Robotics, who otherwise might not have the exposure to STEM concepts or Robotics as part of their curriculum. We had a total of 6 kids enrolled for the camp.

The camp was designed and conducted entirely by employee volunteers. Kids were exposed to fundamental concepts of physics, electrical, mechatronics and CAD in a fun environment. They used CAD tools to generate ideas and creating designs. By the end of the camp, the kids, with the help of their mentors, created working models of 4-5 different types of robots and had the opportunity to demo their robots and field questions in an expo-like setting. Certificates of achievement were distributed to all the kids for successful completion of the camp.
